Guest guest Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 So I am guessing that the drug companies bought off ABC to put a spin on the numbers when they said: The results, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, revealed that among those taking Crestor, the rate of heart attacks fell by 54 percent, the rate of strokes went down by 48 percent and cases of death were reduced by 20 percent, compared with those getting a placebo. Because that seems a lot different than 1.2% less heart attacks. Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 The drug companies don't have to pay off the media. They are both owned by the Rockefellers. We live in a bubble, few really know what is going on. Heart attacks are caused by left ventricular acidosis and/or scurvey due to a lack of vitamin C, L-Lycine & L-Proline, all of which are required to make callogen. Plaques build up as a safety patch to prevent henorrhage. Statin drugs have nothing to do with heart disease and it is printed right on the side of the box that Lipitor comes in. > > So I am guessing that the drug companies bought off ABC to put a spin on the numbers when they said: The results, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, revealed that among those taking Crestor, the rate of heart attacks fell by 54 percent, the rate of strokes went down by 48 percent and cases of death were reduced by 20 percent, compared with those getting a placebo. > > Because that seems a lot different than 1.2% less heart attacks.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 ABC and all the other media outlets report the results that AstraZeneca gives them....AstraZeneca's worked the numbers so that it showed that " he rate of heart attacks fell by 54 percent, the rate of strokes went down by 48 percent and cases of death were reduced by 20 percent, compared with those getting a placebo. " As I said before it is very easy to make any study show what you want it to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I also just wanted to add...that most of the positive affect of statins comes from their ability to decrease the inflammtory cascade that contributes to arthosclerosis........can we not think of several other ways to decrease inflammation in the body that don't have the side effects of Statins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 How do you work the numbers??? I work with marketing numbers and I know that you can say this station is number one by looking at people 12+, or this other station is number one by looking at people 35-54; but you can not change the numbers without going to jail and most people are at drug companies are just getting a salery and not going to rick going to jail to change the numbers? I am confused by your post below, again how did they change the numbers and how do you, yourself know that in fact they only had less than 2% less heart attacks intead of 54%, did you get some inside info from company?

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Bob, Yes indeed numbers can be worked to say or do anything you want them to do. It is called Statistics 101. There is an old saying: there are lies, damn lies and statistics. I have been in the health care field for about 20 years and I can tell you this Statin/ Cholesterol myth has got to be the biggest hoax perpetuatd on the world in modern history. Drug companies work the numbers by only counting certain side effects or leaving certain side effects out. They ignore internal memos i.e. Vioxx scandal. We all think that we have the FDA to protect us- wrong. The pharmaceutical companies provide revenue to the FDA. SO that in itself should be a contraindication. I can tell you some horror stories about medicine that will make your hair stand up. I dont even have time to write it but when you get a chance Google Merck and Red Yeast Rice and read up on that scandal. Google how prescription drugs kill more Americans than illegal drugs. Google how doctors are paid to prescribe dangerous drugs. Google how drug companies hire ghost writers to promote their drugs Google how some chemo drugs actually make tumors grow This is not secret information.. I have not always felt this way.. I was brainwashed for the first 19 years of my career until I was almost killed by a medication that is prescribed to almost 14 million patients. I now tell people please do your research.. dont take these medicines blindly. Try the healthy route.I feel the best that I have in 6 years today. I was discharged out of the hospital on 6 pills that had me bedridden at the age of 41 years 4 months ago. While bedridden, all I had was my laptop so I read and read and read. I pieced together a modified version of Bee's program before I found Bee's program. I found out that the drug I was taking depletes the body of Zinc and destroys the immune system which in turn causes overgrowth of yeast. I took that pill for 5 years. Now I realize I had all of the side effects, but my Doc brushed them off. I was told that my fatigue was post partum, I was told I had acid reflux cause the fat in my stomach was pushing up the acid. I was told I had menstrual problems cause I was 41, I was told I had a disclocated shoulder and knee pain cause of the weight and on and on. I am off all of those dangerous drugs now. I took myself off. Today I am running 2 miles 3x/week. I have no more shoulder/knee pain. I have perfect menses at 40 and my skin problems have cleared up. GERD has completley disapeared. If you had seen me 4 months ago you would know this is a miracle. I could only go from my bed to the bathroom. I am so passionate about this. People are sick and dying and don't know why. Their quality of life is very poor and it is related to these medications. Another example, we put patients on ADA diets if they are a diabetic. If anyone ever looks at an ADA diet it consists of nothing but carbohydrates. No wonder these diabetes are losing limbs and kidneys. We send patients daily to the morgue that are on statins and have had stents. I am seeing a trend in certain patients. Can you beleive that 90% of them have low magnesium? Is this coincidental? I dont know. I get invited weekly to expensive meals by drug companies reps- all paid for- to hear their lectures about their drugs Now the big pharma has put out that Vitamin C and Vitamin E has no effect on the cardiovascular system? Ha? Every major newspaper in the country is carrying this hogwash. It is quite scary out here. Sorry for ramblimg but this is a very emotional subject for me.

Hi Phyl, So good to read your story, so happy for you that you found your way to health again! I'm very interested to read what your (modified) version of this program is. Which food is different and are you taking supplements? Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
